Unfortunately, due to the album already being availlable on iTunes, it has already "leaked" as illegal download...
In my opinion not a smart move at all, releasing the digital before the physical version... *facepalm*

This really sucks! You can find countless illegal download-links of the album...

I would assume that someone made a mistake with typing the wrong release date into iTunes (only?) database. I don't think that it was intended to have it pre-released there.

I was just re-cheking it from iTunes store and the release date has been changed to 11.4. So I guess this happened only with those who had pre-ordered the album from iTunes prior to 5.4. Anyway, be eternally cursed the one who thought that he had the right to upload the album anywhere for illegal downloading - or any other album for that matter._________________https://www.facebook.com/jani.koskela.98

We have discovered serious manufacturing issues on the 2LP format (black & coloured vinyl) of TRIPTYKON's "Melana Chasmata" album and were forced to repress it to guarantee all of you a satisfying and flawless product. Unfortunately, this means the delivery will be delayed by some days. While everyone involved is working at full speed to rectify this situation, we would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will deliver all orders of this format as soon as ever possible. No orders will be cancelled!

Thanks a lot for your patience and bearing with us in this awful situation, but this issue was completely beyond our control.

We hope you will enjoy this release once you will have it in your hands and thank you for purchasing it at CMDistro.

And what a bummer again...

CM seem to have some serious issues lately... I hope at least the CD shipps out in time, I'm somewhat tired of waiting, while others already enjoy their (pre-released) digital version of the album...

And what a bummer again...

CM seem to have some serious issues lately...

1. The logistics issues with the Single...
2. The 1'st design of the limited Box...
3. The newest issue with the 2LP format...
4. ... ?

And all this with the same Band and the same Album... unbelievable!!!

Knows someone who has the 3LP version pressed? It is indeed a NB exclusive version, but it was also pressed by NB?

Got another e-Mail from Finnish recordshop X, stating that the re-print wasn't succesfull either. Too bad to be true, but all the good things are worth the wait and the right quality._________________https://www.facebook.com/jani.koskela.98
